Card for a friend -- can you guess with Sizzix die I used?

Can you tell which Sizzix die I used to create this card?  My friend Carol broke her ankle so I had to make something creative to try to cheer her up!

I used twill tape, pink pirouette card stock and a vintage pin!

Fun with Personalized Stamps

I met someone at a scrap booking crop who is looking to help a realtor friend make thank you cards for her customers.  I had to try out our personalized stamps to see what I could create.  :)

These cards are designed to be quick, easy and inexpensive to make!

Know a realtor?  Show her how quick and easy she can wow her customers!  How cute would it be to order a stamp with the family's new name and address?

This month's hostess club cards!

Here are the cards we made at this month's hostess club!

The 'thank you' card was made on glossy white card stock.  We used sponges and the NEW in-colors to create the beautiful sunset background.  My friend Lorena taught this technique at our last demonstrator meeting.

The Halloween card's mummy has a googlie eye that moves when you move the card.

Lots of fun!

The McCrop is coming!

This year two of my team members and I are teaming up with two other paper crafting vendors to sponsor the McCrop to benefit Ronald McDonald House of Rochester, NY.  This is an all-day crop where you get table space to scrapbook, make cards or do any type of craft you desire!  Breakfast and lunch are provided.

LOTs of work has been done to gather items to raffle off!  Stampin' Up! provided $300 in product to include in the raffle! 

A lot of work has been done in preparation for the event.  Our team will have a make-n-take where you can donate $2 to Ronald McDonald House and you will get to make a card to keep.  :)  Here is one of the make-n-takes.  It features the "Moving Forward" stamp set.  If you purchase this stamp set from me prior to the crop or at the crop, 20% of the purchase price will be donated to Ronald Mc Donald House.  In addition, since the Ronald McDonald House is one of Stampin' Up!'s corporate charities, they will donate an additional $3 to the charity.

Here are four cards made with the same stamp set

In addition, 20% of any Stampin' Up! purchase made online or at the crop will be donated to the charity as well!

Mixed Media Play Time

 

The Stampin' Up! Convention was amazing! (#Convention2012). I was inspired by Shelli's presentation on stage where she showed her personal art journal up-cycled from an old book! I have an old book just begging to be altered!!! I can't wait to try it!

We also attended a class (I AM CREATIVE) with the concept artists from Stampin' Up! where they showed us tips and tricks. We took stamping classes. There were display boards with thousands of paper crafting projects on display!!! It was inspiring!!!

I have always been intrigued by mixed media art and have wanted to try it for a long time! In fact there was a mixed media class at convention that I DIDN'T get to go to, NOT for a lack of trying! (LOL)

So, last night at 10 PM I decided I had put it off long enough and it was time to try something new .... Here's my experiment!
